LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE UKRAINIAN
EXTRAORDINARY COMMISSION
June 4, 1919

Dear Comrade! I have received your letter and enclosures.
The Commissar of the Council of Defense says—and declares that
several prominent Cheka operatives confirm—that in Ukraine the Cheka
has brought a multitude of evils, having been created too early and
having admitted into itself a mass of careerists and hangers-on.
It is necessary to check the composition more strictly,—I hope
Dzerzhinsky will help you in this from here. It is necessary to tighten
up the Cheka operatives by any means whatsoever and expel the
careerists and hangers-on.
At a convenient opportunity, inform me in greater detail about the
purge of the Cheka composition in Ukraine, about the results of the work.
Greetings! Your Lenin

I would consider it necessary to release Natsarenus to Ukraine,
where the need for workers is immense, while you have a surplus.
Furthermore, I ask you to go to the Southwest Front, which is
terribly weakened with respect to commissars. It is absolutely necessary
to support the entire front as a whole.
I have received the materials with your letter, and have begun to sort
through them.
